Science, Liberty, Pure Manners, order, Peace, Goodwill,
_Punch_ for Fifty Years has championed, and will champion still.
Then and now! The captious cynic at the contrast sneers,
_Punch_ believes in, and would help, the Progress of the Years.
When his Century's full course, fifty Years hence, has run,
With good heart and glad may he look back on Ninety-One!

of Vol. V., 1843, in a supplementary number entitled, "_Punch's_
Triumphal Procession."]

QUEER QUERIES.
INFLUENZA.--I should feel really grateful to any reader who can tell
me whether I have Influenza or not. I think I must have it, as I have
tested my temperature with a thermometer attached to a weather-glass
hanging in the hall, which is only slightly cracked, and find that
it--my temperature, not the weather-glass--stays constantly at 120
degrees, which seems rather high. My headaches are _frightful_, and
the pills with forty grains of quinine in them, which I have been
recommended to take by a neighbouring chemist's assistant, do not
seem to do any good.
